The following obituary appeared in the Scrutineer & Berrima District Press, Wed. 12 August 1931 p2:
ELIZABETH TOBIN
ELIZABETH (Lizzie) TOBIN was born in c. 1860 in Sydney, NSW.viii] She died on 3 August 1928 in Talbot Road, Swan View, Perth, W.A..[ix] She married DR. KARL AUGUST EDWARD ROMMEIS in 1881 QLD.[x].
Issue- Christian Frederick b.1882, d.1943; Mary Dorothy b.1884, d. infancy; Stephen Edward b.1886 d.1891; Eunice Elizabeth b.1887 d.1894; Dorothy Mary b.1889, m.1915 to R. Farrar, d.?; Joyce Alice b.1890, d.1894; Monica/Mona b.1892, m.1913 William L. Hoops, d.1972; Edward b/d.1896; Edward Anslem b/d.1897.
Elizabeth Tobin married Karl August Edward Rommeis (known as Edward) on 14 July 1881 at the Royal Mail Hotel Nerang, QLD, her father Stephen Tobin's hotel.
(The following information on the Rommeis family courtesy of D. and J. Moss)
Karl August Edward Rommeis was the son of Christian Friedrich Rommeis and Anna Elizabeth Marker. Karl was born in Chidruff Saxony, Germany c.1853. They also had a daughter named Anna who was born in Gotha Saxony Germany. They migrated to Australia, landing in Adelaide on Thursday 17 February 1870 on the 'San Francisco' from Hamburg.
South Australian Register, Fri 18 Feb. 1870- Shipping Intelligence
The San Francisco is a Barque, 600 tons, from Hamberg October 28th 1869. The passengers were... Christian, Elizabeth, Ann and Edward Rommeisz (sic), between decks. There were only 14 passengers on board. The barque's voyage has been an ordinary one,... And not even the customary continuance of gales across the Southern Ocean is reported.
Friedrich Rommeis, a carpenter (although described as an 'architect' on his son's marriage record), died in April 1878, aged 61 years, in Hahndorf in South Australia and was buried in St. Michael's Church cemetery on 11 April 1878. Daughter Anna was married in 1876 to Johann Herman Gotthilf Schneemilch, a carpenter, in Adelaide, by the Lutheran Pastor in the Lutheran Bethlehem Church. A witness was her brother E. Rommeis, who was described as a 'book binder'.
The South Australian Advertiser Wed 12 April 1871 reported that E. Rommeis received an award for history in the German School in Wakefield Street, Adelaide.
Sometime between Friedrich's death in April 1878 and 1879, the family, which included Anna, her husband Johann and their son August Otto (b.1877) and Elizabeth Rommeis, and Karl August Edward Rommeis left Hahndorf on a German Cart (viz. a large wooden cart, with smaller front wheels pulled by a couple of horses- descendants claim the information had been handed down) and eventually arrived at Kalkie just outside Bundaberg in Queensland. This would have been a long, difficult journey. Anna and Johann's daughter was born in Kalkie in January 1880. Anna's husband Johann died and she remarried to Edward Zollinger, a farmer at Kalkie. Anna, a nurse, died in Kalkie in 1915, and had three surviving children by her first husband.
Whether Edward Rommeis went all the way to Bundaberg or stopped near the border at Nerang to set up his practice as a doctor, is unknown. He was living, and practising medicine, at Nerang by 1881.
Where and when Edward Rommeis trained in medicine is unknown. He was described as a 'book binder' in Adelaide in 1876 and they left for Queensland around 1879, so it would seem likely that he gained his qualifications during that period of time.
In the Brisbane Courier, 2 November 1881, Dr. Rommeis, Nerang Creek, donated a piece of fossil wood and fish (Mureoua Picta) to the Queensland Museum.
Dr Edward Rommeis married Elizabeth Tobin, second daughter of Stephen and Mary Tobin, in Nerang in 1881.
Brisbane Courier, Thurs 18 August 1881
MARRIAGES
ROMMEIS-TOBIN- On 14th July at Nerang by Rev. B. Scortechini, Karl A. E. Rommeis, M.D. of Saxe-Coberg, Gotha, to Elizabeth, 2nd daughter of Stephen Tobin of Nerang.
Their marriage certificate reveals that they were married at the Royal Mail Hotel (Elizabeth's father's hotel), and that Edward's place of abode was Nerang. He was 28 years of age and she was 20. Edward must have converted to Catholicism to be married by a Catholic priest. Notably, his brother-in-law Adolph Poulsen who married Elizabeth's sister Katherine, also changed his religion from Lutheran to Catholic.
Between 1890 and 1892, Edward and Elizabeth moved to the other side of the country, to Western Australia. They were the first of the family to do so, and most of the Tobin family would follow them in the years to come. Their sixth daughter Joyce was born in Nerang in 1890, and their seventh child Monica/Mona was born in Jarrahdale W.A. in 1892.
Dr. Rommeis has a number of mentions in the W.A. newspapers:
The Daily News (Perth) Fri 2 June 1893 p3
NOTES FROM JARRAHDALE
The small pox scare has not affected us much. The Government medical officer of the district Dr Lovegrove, had a notice posted at the commencement of the epidemic that he would visit us and vaccinate, yet we have neither seen nor heard from him since. Most of the children and adults have had the operation performed successfully by the Company’s medical officer Dr Rommeis, to whom all praise is due for his assiduity in the performance of this and other duties in connection with the company. It is reported that he is about to leave us. On the eve of his departure I believe it is the intention of his many friends to give him a “Social” which he richly deserves, and a very pleasant evening will be spent, of which I hope to be able to give you a report.
West Australian, Tues 13 October 1896
Dr Rommeis, who has for long been favourably known in Jarrahdale and the surrounding district, has taken a house in Subiaco, and intends commencing practice in that suburb at an early date.
West Australian, Wed 11 November 1896
Dr Rommeis (late of Jarrahdale) has commenced the Practice of his profession at Subiaco, opposite Government school, and may be consulted from 8 to 10 a.m., 3 to 4 p.m., and 7 to 8 p.m.
In July 1897, Edward gave his sister-in-law Alice Tobin away at her wedding to George Needom Hyde, due to the fact that Alice's father had gone to Sydney to clear his name at Court. (Western Mail, Fri 16 July 1897 p.11). The reception was given at Alice and Elizabeth's mother's home, named 'Illawarra', in Goderich Street, East Perth.
He was mentioned in the obituary for a young 23 year old woman who had died after a long illness. It said "she was skilfully treated by Dr. Rommeis of North Freemantle but all efforts were unavailing". (Western Mail, Fri 23 Sept 1898 P.41)
Dr Rommeis was also called to treat two cyclists who collided causing severe injuries. (The Inquirer and Commercial News, Fri 23 Sept 1898 )
West Australian, Fri 20 May 1899 p2
Local Board of Health.
The council sitting as a local board of health, received a letter from Dr Rommeis accepting the position of health officer. The doctor, who was in attendance, said that so far 12 cases of typhoid had been reported. He had made an inspection of the premises in each case, and the only reason he could assign for the outbreak was the water. At all the places well water was being used. The drainage polluted the whole surface, and it did not matter where they put down a well they would get polluted water. The water supply of Freemantle also was most unwholesome. The greater part of the sickness amongst children was due to the Freemantle water where used. So far he had not had time to inquire into the matter fully. Etc. etc. On a motion of Cr. Riley a vote of thanks was accorded Dr Rommeis for accepting the position.
West Australian, Sat 19 Aug 1899 p10.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS
Karl August Edward Rommeis. Re Claims or Demands upon or against the Estate of Karl August Edward Rommeis, late of Kanowna and Perth, Doctor of Medicine, deceased, intestate, who died on the 3rd October 1901, at Perth aforesaid, (and Letters of Administration on whose Estate were granted by the Supreme Court of Western Australia to Elizabeth Rommeis of Goderich Street Perth) etc. Elizabeth died 27 years later in 1828, aged 68 years. She was living at 68 Talbot Road, Swan View, north Perth.
The Rommeis had settled in Jarrahdale. A history of the town, gives the following information:
Jarrahdale
Governor Weld in the late 1860s was to stimulate the establishment and growth of an important timber industry in this state by granting long term leases or concessions. A group of investors in Victoria, including the Wanliss brothers, William and Thomas, were to be granted a 100,000 ha timber concession in June 1871. The Jarrahdale Station Syndicate thus came into being with a land lease stretching from Byford in the north, almost to North Dandelup in the south and east to include most of the Canning River watershed. After many name changes it became the Rockingham Jarrah Timber Co. The town ship was originally called the Jarrahdale Station.
The town itself had responded quickly to a growing population; Jarrahdale was in the late 1890s the fourth largest community in the state after Perth, Bunbury and Kalgoorlie. It now had a Wesleyan Methodist church, a new school at Cousens Street, a police presence in the town with police quarters, court house and goal, a hospital for the mill workers which was financed by them, a resident doctor (Dr Rommies), a post offlice (now the museum) St Paul's Church of England built in 1895. Most buildings including the small public hall, a large hall with a stage, the library, were, with the exception of one house, all under the control of the Company. Note, too, there were post receiving offices and bush schools at outlying saw mills. By the 1900s, Jarrahdale had a town population of about 1200 people while 800 more were housed in surrounding bush landings and remote sites.

In 1866, Henry Schneider, and William and Charles Philpott, “all Oxford University men” (History of Nerang), arrived at Nerang. On the bank of the Nerang River, the Birribi estate was originally owned by the Philpott Brothers who grew sugar cane there.
The Philpott’s owned sugar cane and timber mills on the Nerang River, and built the ship ‘Maid of Sker’ in 1884 to transport timber from their mill to Brisbane. An Inventory of Sawmills in Qld (written by John Kerr in Jan 1998- www.daff.gov.au, page 145) lists the Philpott Brothers owning a sawmill at Nerang between 1887 and 1893.
William Philpott, born in Severn Stokes, Worcestershire, England in 1844, was the son of Henry Charles Philpott, an Anglican Clergyman. In the 1851 England Census, Henry Charles Philpott, curate of Severn Stokes, Worcestershire, his wife Anne, and 6 children including William 7 and Charles 5, were living in Severn Stokes. In the 1861 Census, William was a student at Magdalen College Oxford University. Five years later he and his brother migrated to Queensland.
William was 39 years of age and Nellie was just 20 years of age when they married at St. Stephens RC Cathedral in Brisbane. Once again, a husband who must have converted to Catholicism. Their marriage certificate describes him as a 'sugar planter'.
